scooby doo is such a weird franchise because it’s really old and very popular. everyone loves scooby doo. they have vague positive feelings about the movies and shows they grew up with. but very few people actually know that much about scooby doo. most people i talk to are really surprised there’s so many movies. they don’t know about the movies past 2004. most people haven’t seen much outside of the live actions and the mook films. when i tell people i’m a big scooby doo fan they’re like yeah i love zombie island. and i’m like oh we’re operating on completely different levels of scooby doo here. you can’t even comprehend the levels of scooby doo i’m about to explain to you.

it’s so. good. that buffy has to feel self loathing about what she’s doing with spike specifically because the underpinnings of the show require that vampires be Bad Monster Creatures who Cannot Feel and are just Lifeless Demons otherwise everything comes into question. about everything. except that spike is the crack in the foundation of the show itself and in that, he makes the show better! he’s the only end that makes sense for her because he sets her free!!!

while we’re all brainstorming ideas for how ‘velma’ could have been a good ‘edgier and more mature modern take on scooby-doo’, i have an idea!

the mystery gang are given more 21st century redesigns. no more bell bottoms, some of them start wearing sneakers, shaggy wears a baggy hoodie, stuff like that.

they still have their usual color palettes and individual styles (shaggy’s clothes are baggy and comfortable, daphne is stylish and fashionable, etc), but they dress more like present-day highschool students. but, obviously, no designs are too detailed that they’re hard to animate and their designs shouldn’t date the show by being too specific to the trends of the 2020’s.

but, in one episode, crystal cove high has a “60’s themed” school dance, and the mystery gang attends in their original outfits!! maybe some extra 1960’s flair could be added just for fun, too. and the episode could have other references to the og series as well. the episode could have other 60’s references and easter eggs scattered throughout the episode.

later in the episode the gang has a classic benny hill theme chase with the villian, and, when it stops, scooby says “reja ru!” (deja vu). then fred, being a himbo, leans over to daphne and says “since when does scooby speak italian?”. daphne naturally gives him a “???” look, but before anyone can react to what fred or scooby said, the trap goes off and the bad guy is caught. episode continues from there.

there’s so much potential with the mystery gang. it sucks that velma (2023) hates its source material so much.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER S04E11 - DOOMED

[scooberish]

There’s something about this little interaction that I love. In these screenshots it looks like she’s picking out decorations for their foyer, and he goes along with whatever she wants because he loves seeing her happy with her little trinkets

Your Favourite Scooby Series

This seemed the best type of poll to start with. Series are arranged in chronological airing order (with the exception of Guess Who?)

*I'm sorry to anyone who likes one more than the other; there were only twelve slots and those two are pretty much the same premise. Scrappy (1979), Scrappy (1980) and New Scrappy/Mysteries are all too distinct in tone, length, character focus, and content for me to combine them in any way.

For me, the characterization of Daphne I'd probably go with, is a sort of jack of all trades wild card. Kinda like her in be cool, but more put together. She always has rabdom ass skills, knowledge, items, etc, pertaining to the mystery. It's all just "oh yeah, i always carry a Glgeiger counter with me" "oh didn't you know I'm forklift certified?" "Actually that bird isn't native to this area"

I absolutely ADORE the fact that Rhys Nicholson is dressed as Tintin for Taskmaster Australia. Their shirt even has Snowy on it!
